I am an Ordained Church of God minister. I can legally put “Rev.” before my name.
I was raised Catholic.
With those two facts, you might think that taking communion has become a tradition, the norm, blase, old hat for me… I am here to tell you communion is anything but.
Tonight as Jesus gave me the opportunity to share “communion” with my church family at Stevens Creek, I again realized how infinitely awesome God is. To think that Jesus endured the false arrest, the unfair trials, the beating that left him literally a few breaths from death, the walk to Calvary carrying the cross, and finally death itself on that Cross. Jesus did all that for you and me, and He gave us this beautiful gift of communion to remember Him and to cleanse us from our our sin.
I stand in awe of Him and I love Him ever more for it.
